Two gang members from Los Angeles have apparently been fighting in Syrian war zones alongside Hezbollah combatants and soldiers loyal to the Bashar Assad regime.

In a video posted on his Facebook profile page — it was uploaded to YouTube on Sunday by the Middle East Media Research Institute — Nerses Kilajyan, a member of the Westside Armenian Power gang who also goes by the alias of Wino Ayee Peeyakan, along with a GW-13 gang member who identifies as Creeper, can be seen toting AK-47s and boasting of being on the “front lines” in the war-torn country.

Creeper coolly lists the names of his “homies” back in LA, then quickly breaks down the situation.

“Check out the enimigos right there, homie,” he tells one Ali, presumably the cameraman, as he points his finger at unseen rebels.

The two gangsters then wave their guns and point them through a crack in the wall.

“Let’s put this shit down to them motherfuckers, homie” Creeper says. He then shoots several rounds, apparently at the insurgents in the distance.

Wino follows suit.

“That’s how we do it, dog,” he says nonchalantly.

“In Syria, gangbanging,” Creeper adds.

According to the “recent places” folder on his Facebook profile, Wino has recently been spending most of his time in Aleppo.

His social network profile is full of pictures of him dressed in military fatigues, often standing in front of shops with Arabic writing on their signs.
